Exploitation of ATP-sensitive potassium ion (KATP) channels by HPV promotes cervical cancer cell proliferation by contributing to MAPK/AP-1 signalling

This study shows that HPV exploits KATP channels to promote cervical cancer cell proliferation through MAPK/AP-1 signaling.

Kv1.3 induced hyperpolarisation and Cav3.2-mediated calcium entry are required for efficientKaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus lytic replication

The paper identifies Kv1.3 and Cav3.2 ion channels as essential for KSHV lytic replication by promoting Ca2+ influx and NFAT activation.
